What is included in the price of your barbecue catering?
Our offers are customised and tailored to your needs. They generally include carefully selected food and drinks, the use of our smokeless barbecue, the necessary barbecue equipment and experienced service staff. Additional services such as crockery, cutlery, glasses, table linen, decorations, furniture, marquee and much more can be booked transparently as an option.
What information do you need to obtain a tailor-made offer?
For a precise and tailored offer, we need to know the event (private/business), the desired date and time, the exact location of the event, the number of guests expected (including children and people with allergies/intolerances) as well as your specific wishes and ideas regarding the menu and proceedings.
The best thing to do is to fill in our request form as completely as possible: Request a quote
How far in advance should I book my barbecue event catering with you?
We recommend booking your desired date as early as possible, especially for weddings and large events, which should ideally be booked 4-12 months in advance. For corporate events, the lead time is often shorter.
>Requests at short notice are also possible, depending on availability. We recommend booking as soon as your event date has been finalised.
How long does it take until I receive your catering offer?
We usually contact you by telephone to analyse your requirements in detail, advise you and gather all the necessary information. We then draw up a detailed offer tailored to your event and the event location. Especially for large or particularly demanding events, we discuss the concept internally as a team to ensure that you benefit optimally from our experience. We will then send you our offer, usually within 24 hours, so that you can proceed with your event planning quickly and efficiently.

How are the costs of event catering made up?
For a full-service event catering for a company event with 100 guests with barbecues à discrétion, a simple aperitif at 6 pm, a main course buffet at 7 pm and a dessert served at the table and flambéed at 9 pm, including drinks with an event manager, two event assistants and three service crew members, i.e. a total of 6 competent employees who take care of your well-being and the well-being of your guests, in an easily accessible event location within an 80 km radius of one of our locations, we charge around CHF 105. - per person excluding VAT and CHF 114 including 8.1 % VAT.
You can therefore expect a total price of around CHF 10,500 excluding VAT.
In our detailed offer you will find the following approximate breakdown of costs:
56 % food & beverage
21 % infrastructure hire for barbecue, buffets, buffet tents, crockery (plates, cutlery, glasses, coffee cups)
20 % Staff costs
3 % Transport and logistics
= 100% costs
Depending on the desired service level and selection of food and drinks, the effective price may be less or more. In any case, the distance to your event location only has a very small influence on the total price. This is because the logistics costs are primarily determined by the loading and unloading for the outward journey and the loading and unloading for the return journey. This part remains exactly the same, regardless of whether your event takes place within a radius of 1 KM or 100 KM from one of our logistics centres.
Why should I fill out the inquiry form when I could just as easily call?
Of course we are happy to receive any form of contact and during our office hours we are also happy to receive your enquiry by telephone. However, the enquiry form has several advantages:
1. the information you provide in the form regarding the type, location and size of the event allows us to allocate the enquiry to the most suitable event coordinator straight away.
2. the event coordinator can optimise his or her response to your wishes before contacting you.
3. they plan the call in such a way that they can take the time to give you comprehensive advice.
As all our event coordinators are also regularly deployed as event managers themselves, it can happen that we are all travelling. Our enquiry form, on the other hand, is available 24/7.
How do I pay for your catering service?
Once your event has been confirmed, a deposit is due to secure your date. You can then pay the balance conveniently by invoice after your event has taken place. The exact payment modalities and deadlines are specified in detail in your offer and contract.
What are your cancellation conditions?
Our detailed cancellation conditions are listed transparently in your individual offer and contract. As a rule, cancellation is possible with a minimum processing fee up to a certain period before the event, after which staggered fees apply depending on the exact time of cancellation.
Are you insured and licensed?
Yes, Maiergrill AG and Maiergrill (Romandie) SA are fully licensed and insured, including comprehensive product and liability insurance. All our staff are also covered by industrial accident insurance to guarantee you maximum safety and professionalism at every event.
